CVE-2026-19253

HighCVSS 8.7
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The Cache Enabler WordPress plugin before 1.8.17 does not validate a URL before using it to build a filesystem path in its cache purge routine, and does not confine the resulting deletion to the cache directory. This allows unauthenticated users to delete arbitrary files and directories on sites where another installed Cache Enabler plugin before 1.8.17 passes a request-derived URL to its public cache-clearing hook.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can delete arbitrary files and directories, potentially leading to complete site destruction, data loss, or server compromise.

Recommendation

Update the Cache Enabler plugin to version 1.8.17 or later. Additionally, protect public cache-clearing hooks from unauthorized access.
